Mil and Estel (Aragorn love story)

Our Wizard is back

My eyes widened."Do not let him speak he will put a spell on us"Aragorn told. "We must be quick!"

We all started to get better grip from our weapons. Suddenly it felt like they were on fire. Even more rare thing. The fire actually burned me. We all dropped our weapons. 

"You track the footsteps of two young hobbits"the white wizard said. "Where are they?"Aragorn demanded. "They passed this way day before yesterday. They met someone they did not expect. Does that comfort you?"The wizard asked. "Who are you? Show your self!"Aragorn commanded. We all gasped as Gandalf appeared dressed in white. Legolas bowed followed by me and Gimli. "It can not be"My best friend said. "I'm sorry I mistook you for Saruman"Legolas bowed. "I am Saruman. Or rather Saruman as he should have been"Gandalf said. "You fell"Aragorn said like punched in the face. 

"Yes through fire and water. From the lowest dungeon to the highest peak. I fought him the Balrog of Morgoth. Until at last I threw down my enemy and smote his ruin upon to the mountainside. Darkness took me. And I strayed out though and time. Stars wheeled overhead and everyday was as long as the life age of the earth. But it was not the end. I 've been send back until my task is done."Gandalf spoke.

 "Gandalf"Aragorn spoke happily. "Gandalf yes. That's what they used to call me." "Gandalf"Gimli lightly laughed. "I am Gandalf the white and I come back to you now at the turn of the tide"Gandalf continued.

 I did not care to be formal anymore. I stood up and threw my arms around the wizard as tight as I could. "Oh my child I did not know how missed I was"he chuckled. "You have no idea, dear"I smiled tears clouding my eyes. We pulled away still holding each others arms. "Be strong but not to strong , let the tears fall but not to long"he said to me kissing my forehead. It is good to have this riddling wizard with us.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I walked next to Aragorn along the forest. "One stage of our journey is over, another begins. War has come to Rohan. We must ride to Edoras with all speed"Gandalf informed. "Edoras that is no short distance"Gimli huffed." We hear of trouble in Rohan it goes ill with the king"Aragorn said. "Yes and it will not be easily cured"Gandalf said wearily." Then we have ran all this way for nothing? Are we to leave those poor hobbits here in this horrid, dark,  dank tree-infested"the trees did not like the last sentence very much. Gimli quickly covered:"I mean charming quite charming forest" 

I held back a laugh. I failed and let out very unladylike snort. Aragorn looked at me amused smile playing on his lips. 

"It was more than mere chance that brought Merry and Pippin to Fangorn. A great power has been sleeping here for many long years. The coming of Merry and Pippin will be like the falling of small stones that starts an avalanche in the mountains"Gandalf told in his normal way.

 "In one thing you have not changed dear friend"Aragorn said. "Hmm?"he hummed questioning him. "You still speak in riddles"making them both laugh and me smile at the two." A thing is about to happen here that has not happened since the Elder Days. The ents are going to wake up and find that they are strong"

"Strong. Oh thats good"Gimli said little hesitant. "So stop fretting master dwarf Merry and Pippin are quite safe. In fact far more safe than you are about to be"Gandalf said partly amused by the dwarf. I sighed in relief. "This new Gandalf is much more grumpy than the old one"Gimli muttered. "Oh Gimli, you have not even seen him being grumpy. I remember one time though. If I right remember he got so grumpy, he shot a firework at Mr. Sackvilles behind", I say smirking at the wizard. He chuckles lightly winking.

 I felt someone pull me next to them. "Oh hey Legolas"I said. He was smirking. "What are you smirking at?" "Hope is literally falling in Love"he teased.

 Haha. You are a genius. Mil and Estel. Sarcasm in the air. Noooo. "But really his staring at you"he told. I looked and he was right. Aragorn was indeed staring at me. I looked down blushing."So Love is growing for Hope hard, or rather Love is making Hope grow hard"He smirked. "Shut up Prince. Threeshagger, And I think that is better than never getting laid"I snapped, smiling overly sweetly. 

Could Aragorn really love me? No. No he could not. My fate is sealed by my uncle. There is no chance for us. Then Gandalf let out high whistle. A really beautiful horse came to view." That is one of the Mearas, unless my eyes are cheated by some spell"Legolas said.

 "Shadowfax"Gandalf sighed. He cared about the horse you could see it when he stroked him. "He is the lord of all horses and has been my friend through many dangers"he told us. We all started to mount our horses. Aragorn offered his hand which I took. I sat behind him holding his waist. Oh dear Eru. I can't leave this man. He has always been with me. I need to be with him. Without him I break. I talk from familiar feeling. He seemed to see something saddened me and covered one of my hands with his and squeezed it. I smiled at him and snuggled my face to his back. Now we start hell of a ride.
